Group criticizes salaries
Pro-union newsletter calls for faculty wage increases
By NOEL GERDES Staff writer
Faculty union supporters sent a newsletter to faculty yesterday that scorned this year's salary increase and numerous proposals for salari increases.
The newsletter from the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors calls for salary increases that consider cost-of-living, merit, equity and market adjustments.
"The present charade of calling our 1.5 current percent raise a 'merit raise' must end," the newsletter said.
The newsletter also recommended setting a minimum salary for each rank, such as professor and associate professor, in order to combat the problem of salarycompression.
Salary compression is when new faculty members are hired at the
same salary or a higher salary than veteran faculty members.
Robert Hohn, chairman of the KU-AAUP's committee on collective bargaining, said yesterday that faculty who were promoted to the next rank would benefit the most from established minimum salaries.
Hohn said that if faculty elected KU-AAUP to represent a faculty union, the group would hire a full-time lobbyist to push for salary increases and other union concerns in Topeka.
Faculty will vote Nov. 17 and 18 whether be represented by KU-AUP, the KU chapter of the National Education Association or no union. Because faculty votes are not votes, then faculty will vote again on the two options with the most votes.
Tom Madden, organizing director for KU-NEA, said yesterday that he had not seen the KU-AAUP newsletter-
ter. He said KU-NEA also might make general salary proposals, but it would wait until the election was over to name specific numbers.
If KU-NEA were elected to represent a faculty union, it would seek faculty opinion before making specific salary proposals, Madden said.
"We're not an action group. We're not another union," Bickford said.
Marion Bickford, professor of geology and president of KU Independent Faculty, said his group would not threaten the university. The group opposes a faculty union.
However, he said that KU Independent Faculty had written a letter to Chancellor Gene A. Budig stating that the group was not satisfied with current salary increases. He said the letter probably would be sent to faculty through the campus mail system before the weekend.
Miss USA pageant recruiters scout KU for contestants

Beauty pageants may have stumbled recently on the runway of society, but their image is improving, says one local pageant official.
"There's really a stigma, I would have to say, attached to beauty pageants," said Jill Denzin, regional coordinator for the Miss USA pageant, from her office in Overland Park. "There have just been some real nasty things going on in the past."
But while the image of beauty pageants may have been tarnished by the media, Denzin's constant recruiting efforts for potential Miss USA contestants.
Denzin was recruiting at KU on Monday and Kansas State University on Tuesday.
She has about 30 scouts for pageant contestants on the KU campus, she said.
She said she received about 200 nominations Monday and would contact those people to gauge their interest in the pageant.
The effort, though, was not appreciated by some.
"It's really an invitation," Denzin said. "A lot of state directors, I think, will accept just about anybody." On the other hand, she said. "We really to make it very selective, very special."
Denzin approached Stephanie

Quincy, student body vice president, for names of potential contestants. Quincy refused to give names to pageant official because she was philosophically opposed to such pageants.

"If you genuinely want to do it, that's fine, but calling up and soliciting names is out of line if you ask me," Quincy said. "I just didn't appreciate the condescending attitude."
But campus recruiting works well, according to Robert Myers, regional director for Miss USA.
